When this is committed to anoncvs, this Mind Copyright will have to be
removed.
That is a problem. Though we may be prepared to assign the copyright to the code to someone else, we also want to retain the (non-exclusive) copyright and the right to use our code as we see fit, as well as a permanent reference to Mind as the original contributor.
IANAL. From my understanding of the copyright assigment, this is not possible. You assign the copyright to RedHat or eCosCentric or hopefully sometime soon FSF. You have none exclusive rights
to use the
code yourself, but you no longer own the copyright. You can put your
name in the contributers section of the header on each file and in the
documentation etc.
